German Gobelin Tapestry, Hunters Castle Glienicke 1910s

Antique German gobelin tapestry wall hanging 1910s-1920s.

"Fox Hunters at Castle Glienicke", early 20th century German gobelin tapestry. The picture shows the Jagdschloss Glienicke ('hunting-castle' or hunting lodge) located in Berlin - Wannsee, near the cities of Babelsberg and Potsdam. This castle is easy recognizable by its unique baroque facade and the tower.

The Jagdschloss Glienicke was built for Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg. The construction begun by Charles Philippe Dieussart in 1682 and completed in 1693 during the reign of Frederick William I of Prussia. Frederick I of Prussia used it as a military hospital.
In 1763, Frederick II of Prussia gave it as a present to Isaac Levin Joel, a wallpaper and carpet maker who used it for wallpaper manufacturing. From 1827, it was owned by Wilhelm von Tuerk, who turned it into an orphanage in 1832. In 1859, Prince Charles of Prussia hired the court architect Ferdinand von Arnim to renovate the castle in Neo-baroque style for his son Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia. In 1889, Albert Geyer expanded the central block of the building and added a tower.

The gobelin shows the easily recognizable Glienicke castle's baroque facade and tower added after the 1889 reconstruction, which allows to date the gobelin into early 20th century.
